Can I use a fan if I have rhinitis?

Patients with rhinitis should pay attention that this disease is very long and cannot be recovered in an instant. Patients need to endure the pain brought by rhinitis for a long time and receive reasonable care measures for rhinitis for a long time. First of all, patients should not catch cold. Catching a cold will cause rhinitis to worsen. You can use a fan, but it should be appropriate. Do not blow it on your head for a long time or turn on the air conditioner for a long time.

Nursing measures for chronic rhinitis. The following is an introduction to the nursing measures for chronic rhinitis:

1. For patients with chronic simple rhinitis, give vasoconstrictors as prescribed by the doctor, such as 0.5%~1% ephedrine saline nasal drops. Introduce the correct method of nasal drops to patients and inform them not to use vasoconstrictors for a long time to avoid drug-induced rhinitis.

2. For patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and chronic simple rhinitis who are not well treated with drugs, treatment methods such as inferior turbinate sclerosing agent injection, microwave, laser, freezing, and radio frequency can be used. Patients who require partial inferior turbinate resection surgery should cooperate with the physician to provide perioperative care.

3. Strengthen communication with patients, patiently explain the condition, eliminate patients' anxiety, enable them to actively cooperate with treatment, and help patients cooperate with doctors to find out the cause of the disease and provide correct and timely treatment.

4. Health guidance: Introduce preventive measures of this disease to patients. Exercise to improve the body's resistance; quit smoking; improve the environment and pay attention to protection in adverse environments, such as wearing a mask when working in a dusty environment, and paying attention to cooling down or keeping warm when working in an environment with drastic temperature changes.

The above are simple measures for the care of chronic rhinitis. Taking nursing measures while receiving drug treatment can achieve twice the result with half the effort. These nursing measures can help patients recover soon.
